Are you giving your kids their credit from the stimulus check?

I am using the $2400 for a couple bills but DH and I are still working so we are more than fine. The stimulus check is nice extra money but we are not hurting for it. For the $500 credits I am getting for my kids, I am going to give my 16 year old twins that money. They have both been wanting new laptops for school so they can use that money toward that. Are you giving it to your kids to spend or putting it in savings or using it for bills, or something else?

If I get any I'll be using it for shopping while I'm on vacation. My tax situation is complicated so I'm not sure we qualify.

I'm sure they'll benefit from it in one way or another, lol. But no, I'm not going to give it to them like that.

We told our kids that we would give them the funds we received for them (my son it would go into his savings and for our daughter it would go to her living expenses). Then we realized that our kids are too old to get any of the funds. We need the $2400 to cover some of our bills.

We get shit for DS. He's 18 but we still claim him on taxes because he hasn't needed to file yet.

My dd unfortunately doesn't get a stimulus check because shes 20 yrs old & dependent on our taxes because shes in College. She will get the $1200 credit on her taxes this year.
All the Government did was give us all the tax credit we all get at the end of the year.

We always give dd the extra we get for claiming her at the end of the year.

The credit for the stimulus check is only for kids under 17.

My children are young, they have no use for any money.

Well, DD could explain to you in great detail about the Barbies she needs while she is stuck at home...

I'm aware. It's ridiculous though since people with kids that are college aged are usually shelling out more for them then they were when they were 6.
